Here’s everything you need to know to ensure a stress-free parking experience: 

London International Cruise Terminal, Tilbury, Essex, RM18 7NG 

London International Cruise Terminal is easily accessible by car. If you’re travelling from the west, exit the M25 at Junction 30 and take the A13 eastbound (towards Tilbury and Southend). From the A13, take the A1089 (third exit) towards Tilbury. Follow the dual carriageway to the ASDA roundabout and take the third exit, staying in the left lane. Pass the railway station on your left and continue straight, avoiding the main port entrance. After the pedestrian traffic lights, turn right where the signs indicate “Cruise Terminal and Ferry.” At the mini roundabout ahead, turn left into the car park - by now, you’ll see the terminal in front of you. 

If you’re travelling from the east, follow the A13 towards the M25 and leave the A1089 exit and continue as above.
